***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[howeda7]

Garcia is our main offense, in foul trouble, and has a hard enough time when he’s not in foul trouble. I don’t get it.

PP should be in for JOJ.

Does Payne only dunk? He is wide open from the elbow

Payne and Ola Joseph need to learn to hit 10-15 footers, other teams just lay off them. They'll be getting those shots the next three years.

 

[howeda7]

They didn't lose the first half

Their odds of winning plummeted in the last 10 minutes of the first half while Garcia was out.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Their chance to win was to maintain/build on the lead. Letting Michigan come back and tie ended any chance to win.

How did going in at halftime tied end any chance to win the game?

Good thing they don't play games on paper

Probably, but the defense pretty much maintained after Garcia went out in the first half and that helped keep it close at least given the complete incompetence on offense once he left.

I haven't watched Michigan much this year but I can see why they've lost so many games. If we had a couple of more reliable players on the offensive end this wouldn't be a particularly surprising victory.

OK. It didn't end it. It reduced the odds substantially.

Yeah..slight use of hyperbole, but Minn scoring 3 points in the last 10+ minutes of the half doesn't really inspire confidence

 

[big10guy]

Sometimes our shots look like we're just launching hand grenades at the basket.
Even the guys who are supposed to be good shooters (Battle, Garcia) just look like they're throwing shots up out of desperation -- no flow, no rhythm, no purpose.

 

[howeda7]

This team would be so much better if they had Payton Willis this year.

 

[JimmyJamesMD]

Or any D1 point guard

I can’t believe that Garcia is 6 11. He gets so many shots blocked.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

I can’t believe that Garcia is 6 11. He gets so many shots blocked.

Most seem to be when he uses his off hand

 

[stocker08]

What a stupid thing to do, Battle.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Samuels…

 

[howeda7]

Or any D1 point guard

I've seen a couple DII guards I'd take too.

Smart teams figure out he can't go right.

 

[rowdaboat]

That's not a charge??

 

[stocker08]

Dickenson getting away with that is BS.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Just blatant. F’n hilarious.

 

[Tully55]

Dickenson getting away with that is BS.

 

[howeda7]

Can't see what happened to Garcia there. Thought it was a Wisconsin step-under but it doesn't look like it.

 

[stocker08]

Hmmm. Some shithead not on the court? Garcia motioned to something.

 

[XMan]

Garcia hits the deck. Injured foot? It didn’t look like he landed in other guys foot.

 

[bc2211]

Flop or change. It’s gotta be one or the other. Pisses me off more that they didn’t make a call. It was probably a flop given he was buried under the hoop.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

The lack of open shots will continue to be concerning.

I really thought the Gophers would try to push pace defensively and turn that into offense on the other end. Through 1 1/2 years it hasn’t happened.

 

[bga1]

What just happened there- did McDaniel get under Garcia's foot or trip him in some way?

 

[howeda7]

I guess I'm wrong.

 

[XMan]

Uffda hope he is ok

 

[rowdaboat]

Bumkin clearing space with elbow whole way
